If a remake is not good, no one wants to see it and, again, it doesn't hurt the original.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Better a decent remake than a bad original, don't you think?
It's always that tricky thing with a remake, especially when it's something that's well loved. You're coming to something that has a built-in fascination, but with that comes people ready to feel disgruntled that it's being remade at all.
Personally, I'm not too fond of remakes.
I'm not a big fan of remakes. I never wanted to do a remake.
The trouble with remakes is that people fall in love with the original. It's like peanut butter. If you try to change the taste of peanut butter, you're in trouble.
There are a lot of movies that I don't care about, especially not remakes.
I don't think it's sacrilegious to remake any movie, including a good or even great movie.
Nobody does remakes for the sake of it. As for me, I have not hard and fast rules with respect to remakes.
Movies always are open to being remade because times change so much, and the tempo of movies changes. I think of it like a James Bond. They can have different actors play the same role... I've had people come up to me and say, 'We want to remake 'The Jerk' with so and so.' And I say, 'Fine.' It just doesn't bother me. It's an honor actually.
I would never try and do a remake off a movie. I think that's a whole different thing. I think everyone will always remember the first movie, and they will always compare it with the second one.
